Some secrets are better left alone.
These secrets will make you wonder if there are indeed rules in this world.
Sword King Shawn once encountered a mysterious group of individuals in the ancient battlefield of Parting who called themselves The Hand.
It was when he was a mere Sword Sage.
He was so terrified that he fled and did not stop running for a month.
That was the scariest he had ever been because he witnessed how these people slaughtered a group of adventurers from one demon state, and from what he managed to gather before he was exposed, they are everywhere.
This made him alert; for years, he has always been alert.
When he returned to the human continent, he tried gathering information on them but came out empty-handed. Years have passed, yet he hasn't heard the name "The Hand" come out of anyone's mouth...
...until today, when he heard Kent call it.
